Bracknell returned to the attack and Sam Barrett set up an easy-looking chance for Cooper-Clark, but he fired over the bar.

It got even worse for Bracknell in stoppage time when Goodband was sent off after two yellow card offences in less than five minutes.

Boosted by their goal and the fact they now had a numerical advantage, Highmoor enjoyed much more possession in the second half with substitute Kashif Chowdhary making his presence known down the right flank.

And it was his ball into the area which saw Mitch Parker bring the scores level after 62 minutes.

Bracknell, who by know had seen manager Steve Nebbett sent from the dug-out for a few choice words in the direction of referee Andrew Newell, should have regained the lead when Cooper-Clark broke away by himself but shot wide with only Johnson to miss.

Moor celebrated their let off by scoring the winner in the 72nd minute with Adam Lailey setting up the chance of Lyden.

"We put him on as he is a player who can ruffle a few feathers a bit," said Richardson.

"He has presence and is good in the air

"Ben got the rewards for the effort he put into the game."

Parker and Brown both went close to increasing their side's lead, but Highmoor were made to work hard to create clear-cut chances by a battling Bracknell defence.

Highmoor skipper Harrison Bayley said: "It was good to know we can come from behind to win games.

"It shows the spirit there is in the side, it was a great performance."
